Yum... have you tried SN's rye IPA? I enjoyed it.

good point about head rentention... Before I researched the forums I did an experimental gluten free beer for my wife... It was mostly honey and molasses.. it has gotten "better" with time... but astringent (and bitter as hell) is a good description... I only made a gallon since it was...

Yeah, Red Oak's good stuff. I don't make it that far east too much, but it's fun to peak in when you're running down I-40.

haha... yeah, legit actually... my wife has chronic lyme disease and the conventional antibiotics have not gotten her back to good health, so I'm growing/harvesting teasel, joe pye (gravelroot), artemisia/wormwood (going to add this to some brew too!), stinging nettles, etc... to try to get her...

Not necessarily a bad name... I prefer "Ass Hat," lol... you might be right that it actually helps draw people in. You're list of mead is impressive... Road trip!

I have a friend that sent me some brew from OH... shipping was a beast, lol... I'm pretty broke, you'll have to drive to NC, haha.

I was looking at that write up earlier today. Thanks again.

lol... yeah... the high proof vodka is usually good enough... I can always slip on over into Indiana when I am visiting family in Ohio and grab some. Sipping on a my homebrewed IPA right now... it's tasty.

Good to hear. You can still buy grain alcohol (everclear) in Indiana, right? They outlawed the 190ish+ proof stuff here. Now I have to use high proof vodka for my herbal tinctures... :mad: Ass Clown... hehe :)

Sounds good mr bell.. Thanks. Will some chocolate malt be enough (I guess I might start to get off flavors from tannins and such if I leave that in too long), or do I need a little 2 row? I might have to delay starting until I can get back up to the LHBS. I'm currently sipping on an IPA that...

Okay, cool... it says "must be mashed" and "use 1-2 lb in the mash"... but that sounds like work! Thanks.

^I'll have to keep an eye out for their stuff. Yeah, SN is going to be in Mills River (I can drive there in an hour). I tried to go the LHBS in E. Asheville once and it was closed, so I ended up going to Hops & Vines... I've been in a few times and liked them, but your description is...

Yup. :) https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/sierra-nevada-new-belgium-build-new-easterly-breweries-298700/

didn't mean to double post...

^all highlands stuff if excellent... I've been sipping on the thunderstruck coffee porter, but I think it is only available locally... their IPA, pale ale, well s--t, it's all great... Asheville has a couple nice LHBS places too. That's is what I am shooting for.

Thanks for the heads up on New Belgium... I've been following this... want a new job, lol... another great addition to Western NC.

^that is really cool of them... I hope they pass some savings onto the customer. :) highland is so good, but SN is also up there... I'm a hop head. ditto... except for the packing up part... I hope you are wrong, I was hoping to get a job with them.... and highland is f-----g killer... have...

Thanks man, I've been following this... can't wait... I think I might head over there and try to get a job... :)

^bump for this guy... plus it sounds tasty... getting ready to do a stout with coffee and chocolate... wanted to see what was around.

Thanks... I looked around some more and found this recipe... https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f68/milk-oatmeal-stout-182975/ I'll just steep the oats with my chocolate malt and call it a day.
